GRASPS
Goal: Your task is to map out a new plan for happiness and present it to your new soon-to-be employer.
Role: You are recently unemployed and are now living on your mom's couch. Lately, you've been figuring out exactly what went wrong in your last job, how it affected you negatively, and how you were never really happy. You now have the chance to start over. You have created a new road map to happiness. Your first step is getting an interview with your perfect boss. You must create a "resume" to let them know what you're looking for in a job, and what skills you can bring to the table.
Audience: You need to convince your employer to hire you, which means your resume must be outstanding, truthful and heartfelt. Employers have felt the recession's consequences too. They now need to make sure the people they hire are perfect for the job. They are looking for dedicated, skilled, and friendly employees who have a good outlook on life and are ready to work hard.
Situation: You are up against 5 other highly qualified workers who want the same job as you. Could you be exactly what this employer is looking for?
Product/Performance: You will create a Museum Box of happiness in order to determine what makes you happy.
This will include:

Performance Task Overview
You've spent the last few weeks figuring out exactly what will make you happy, and you think you've finally figured it out. You know what skills you have, where you want to work, how to work well with others, and how to make yourself and your employer happy. After sifting through the employment ads, for what seems like a lifetime, you find the perfect job! Now, all you need to do is put this information to together to give to your soon-to-be boss. Instead of filling out a boring application, you've decided make a hole portfolio of information that will convince the employer that you are absolutely the best person for the job.
